So are we still going to have a tiny 20,000 gathering of crowds for our world cup matches whereas in nepal's university grounds there are an excess of 25K+ in their local matches...am really shocked that according to initial proposal, SBNCS had plans to make it atleast 40,000. Whereas now, with a little bit more than an year left, there are still no steps taken to increase the capacity. So is it really gonna happen or not? plz post the latest news or updates regarding stadium renovations inbangladesg world t20 2014. Thanks.

amra bangali ra last min te laf vhalo dei......so don't worry .....it will be done on time.....i heard my brother told me from dhaka that....bcb has plan to extention of khulna, bongobondhu stadium, and want to make it big stadium on koks bazar.....around 50 to 60 thousand capacity......so they have plan......mirpur not possible ....due to less capacity left around the whole stadium.....but they want to make dhaka stadium big.....capacity proberbly around 40 to 45 thousand.....so less wait and see what they do.....hope they do quick as possible.

Its the World Cup, its a pretty big deal. Who knows when we will get to host the world cup again. I don't think people will pass down the opportunity to watch players like Dale Steyn, AB, Watson, McCullum, Gayle, KP and many more. If the price is reasonable I'm sure it will fill up. BCB has to be smart about this. Not too many people will want to show up to watch Ireland, Zim, Afghanistan play. So they have to price the tickets based on the merit of the game.

What will we do a stadium with a capacity of 50 or 60 thousands in Coxes Bazaar? This is a tourist place. People go there to see the Bay of Benglal and natural beauty. People won't go there to watch a match from Northern or Western area of the country.

While people are there to see the Bay of Bengal and the natural beauty, they can go watch a cricket match afterwards.
